The Housing Ombudsman Service is set up by law to look at complaints about the housing organisations that are registered with us. We resolve disputes involving the tenants and leaseholders of social landlords (housing associations and local authorities) and our voluntary members (private landlords and letting agents who are committed to good service for their tenants). Our dispute support service works with residents and landlords to resolve issues while they are within the landlord’s complaints procedure. Our dispute resolution team makes the final decision on complaints that remain unresolved through independent, impartial and fair investigation. We set complaint standards for our members through our statutory Complaint Handling Code and undertake systemic investigations, sharing the learning from our work through our Centre for Learning with landlords and residents to promote positive change in the social housing sector.
